Hello! On my Debian system there is no file named modprobe.conf. Instead there is a directory named /etc/modprobe.conf with the following files: htpc:/etc/modprobe.d# ls -go total 30 -rw-r--r-- 1 4360 2006-02-05 14:00 aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 16153 2006-09-11 10:44 alsa-base -rw-r--r-- 1 156 2005-12-16 10:05 alsa-base-blacklist drwxr-xr-x 2 1024 2006-06-14 16:51 arch lrwxrwxrwx 1 9 2006-06-14 16:51 arch-aliases -> arch/i386 -rw-r--r-- 1 1406 2006-02-20 16:15 blacklist -rw-r--r-- 1 284 2006-02-20 16:15 display_class lrwxrwxrwx 1 41 2006-10-15 20:07 linux-sound-base_noOSS -> /lib/linux-sound-base/noOSS.modprobe.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 29 2005-10-29 04:48 nvidia-kernel-nkc -rw-r--r-- 1 363 2006-02-20 16:15 pnp-hotplug -rw-r--r-- 1 61 2006-04-22 14:54 sound The sound file contains what you told me to look for. htpc:/etc/modprobe.d# cat sound alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 After modifying this file as suggested I get: htpc:/home/mythtv# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC880 Digital [ALC880 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 alsamixer now contains IEC958 which I toggled from <Off> to <On>. htpc:/home/mythtv# lspci -s 00:10 -vn 00:10.0 0604: 10de:026f (rev a2) (prog-if 01 [Subtractive decode]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 0000a000-0000afff Memory behind bridge: e9000000-e90fffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: e0000000-e3ffffff Capabilities: [b8] Subsystem: 0000:0000 Capabilities: [8c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping 00:10.1 0403: 10de:026c (rev a2) Subsystem: 1458:a102 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 193 Memory at e9100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask+ 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping What entries do I have to put in the ~/.asoundrc file?
